We have paid all the fees to our social worker, all our reports are now done! From now on we are only required to do an annual report until she is 18. Big sister is reading above her grade level and Big brother just started reading Hop on Pop! He is catching on. I have been trying to get some action on Ebay, we have not added to the kids 529 plan in a while, thats been on my mind, and time flys so quickly. We work real hard with reading and math, hoping that the kids will earn good grades. Maria did a wonderful display of the Black Widow for the schools learning fair, there was not many kids of her age there, most here middle school or High School. So we are happy she had pride in a job well done.

Adoption

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.--- Kristi Larson
